And here's where you can talk about the 3DS version http://messedupcables.forumotion.net/t41-monster-hunter-3-ultimate#421

I've never played a Monster Hunter game, although I've listened to plenty of discussions about it on the 8-4 Play podcast. Maybe I should start with the 3DS one.

wow dusty, you really killed this thread huh?

This thread will come into its own when the games are released and people begin the online talk.

I was joking over in the 3DS topic btw.....after all Dusty did link to this topic it in his original post but as Stu said it will pick up soon when the game arrives............oh not to mention thoughts on the demo.

No, I did link this thread with its 3DS counterpart and vice-versa. If anything I thought the 3DS one would be quieter.

I do look forward to taking the demo for a spin. I'm mainly intrigued to see how much effort Capcom has put into the visual aspect of the game.

Same actually. Not that visuals are hugely important, but we're using a HD console these days, some extra effort would be nice, y'know?

I am eagerly awaiting this games arrival, anyone know of A Wii U bundle with this game? I haven't bought the console yet.

This is now outdated, from Nintendo Direct onwards.

I might consider getting this. It'd be nice to go online with the NGamer lot.

yeah I hope to play with you guys online, jaster says about 5 used to play it on wii, now theres me and I no a few on twitter like ibbsters will play it so I can think we can get a least two groups going

Here's a pic of the lovely bundles shame the consoles aren't branded in anyway though.



Though you could buy this for your 3DS from the Capcom Store which is only $19


Balla, good to hear you're considering it.......the demo is out tomorrow so I'd start there to get feel for it. (can't remember if you've played an MH game before or not)

that case or whatever it looks good, to be honest ive never really played a monster hunter either

Nope. I've always thought there was something kinda messed up about it, actually - a game based solely around killing innocent animals in their own habitat. But if there's another goal to it, like, say, playing online with others, it doesn't seem quite so... blood sport-like.

Playing online with others is my favourite part of MH, the story (yes MH has a story) albeit simple explains that the monsters are actually in some cases not in there natural habitat.

After spending a crazy number of hours on Tri, I finally have a reason to buy a Wii U. I was going to buy one this month, but the hot water tank died and cost a pretty penny to replace, so next month at the earliest now. Can't wait to go hunting again.

I'll give the demo a go if out down here but that's as far as I'm willing to go

Not your thing then? Tri was my first Monster Hunter game and I fell in love with it. Not up to my love of Fire Emblem, but still high.

The very thought of hearing OS' voice on voice chat is reason enough to buy this. In my head, it's the Australian equivalent of posh British.

I've heard his voice and that's all I have to say about that

And no I have never been a fan of MH.

Played the demo for about two hours, that's four quests trying out each of the new weapons.

Quest 1 w/ Gunlance:
Threw myself into the deep end with the hard quest (Plesioth) straight away, I've fought this beast on MHFU but here he is less frustrating to fight as you can follow him into the water & continue the fight still does massive damage though

Outcome: Quest Complete

Quest 2 w/ Hunting Horn
This is the easy quest (Lagombi) this rabbit bear thing is new to me, also my first time using the HH weapon too, loved the weapon & see it being very useful in co-op as you give yourself & teammates status buff etc.

Outcome: Quest complete

Quest 3 w/ Bow (vs Lagombi)
I was all over the place with my aiming on this one, never been a fan of range weapons due to that, though I know they work well in co-op & in the right hands so I may practice this more.

Outcome: Quest Failed (time limit expired)

Quest 4 w/ Dual Swords (vs Plesi)
Also new to this weapon but I really enjoyed it as I managed to paralyse plesi twice draw back is not being able to block, though that is offset with fast movement & a demon meter that once built up allows you to dash small distances for a limited time. Fun weapon.

Outcome: Quest Failed (time limit expired)

Hey! I have been frequently asked how long I have lived in Australia, but I don't think it sounds anything other than Australian, just more your old fashioned city one, where they say it 'cahs-tle' and 'chahn-ce'. You may still be disappointed though Balladeer
